wanker.


yes, it has been getting worse for quite a while.

I've been here since mid-april. When I came I saw many spammy threads. I also took part in that spam but it gradually calmed down. now i think traxor is very much right about the spam and pointless posts increasing day-by-day. Though the spam has decreased from what it used to be in the summers. I too think that this should be stopped and should even think about helping the others with their problems and questions rather than creating those pointless threads in testing and trashing. Try taking yourself in place of the people who seek for help. You'd appreciate spam or help regarding you questions/problems. Help right? Don't you want to get a solution to your problems as early as possible? The same is the case with other people who come to this forum to ask help for MP!L and WLM or even older version. I believe most of you joined this place to seek for some help and then started to post crap after you saw others right?

I'd do my best to help all the people who join this forum and would help them with every possible thing i know rather than just posting crap threads and posts.

I don't see the problem to be honest.

Members whine about the state of the forums, then do something about it and practice what you preach. If there's a lot of spam, I see two options:

1) most members WANT the spam and the forum is merely accomodating
2) Get better staff

And no, that second one is not an attack on the mods and admin, but well, a forum has those mods and admin to keep the place in check. If there's twenty repeat threads in a forum RAM THAT REPORT BUTTON. Stop whinig and do something about it?

Three words.
Live with it.

I agree with what undies said and id like to say one more thing. There are a lot of people who may post replies like "omg yeah the spam is increasing" and then go and spam themselves. I dont want to point fingers but this happens ALL THE TIME. Improve yourself and

Yes, your all saying "OMG I know, its a problem" but its you guys that are doing this. Ive been here for a while now and im still only on 300 posts.

Oh so since we have more posts, now we're spammers?
You might want to re-frame that sentence Phillip

Shush JA, or no Fanta for you


Since posts in T&T still do not count to my knowledge, it's likely that amongst those higher amounts of posts, are quite some quality ones in the help parts of the forums too. Don't feel attacked by a single phrase you read online, because ZOMG!!!11 it's the internet!

Lets just not worry about it for now many of us have better things to do then argue.

Where's the arguement?
* Fanta looks around

Your post would, coincidentally, be seen as spam on my own forum.

Well the people that posted here usually not the ones that spam (I dun think I have seen them ever almost). Its usually the people that have lower post count in around the 30-100 range. Maybe they create a help thread, thats 4 posts, and do a little posting in the General Talk and Tech Talk, then the remainder is spam. The probably do this because they have not have enough time to make themselves loyal to the fourm (unlike us posting here). I'm not trying to discriminate against people with low post count, but its usually them that make the spammiest of the spam, sorta like the ones you guys mentioned.

EDIT: 300th post! (well i guess this isn't a time to celebrate)
